of course, communicate TO the outside

LONDON, May 9.-The American exhi-

weather was clear and sunny. About 1000
persons attended. The bursting of 8

bition and rushed to the grounds where
the wild west show performed.

give stability to coinage aud to avoid the
changes to which it might be subjected if
the power to change the dies We're left to

design or device upon the coin would
greatly impair its usefulness. If a
change became necessary or proper
in consequence of the advance
of science or taste, Congress determined
to hold in its own hands the power to de-

therefore authorizes the preparation

listing coins which are now in circulation,
and the clause as to the preparation of

lished by detectives for the purpose of

who ran the "fence," testified that Lavell
had sold to him large lot of goods which
he acknowledged that he had taken from

DALLAS, TEX, May 9.-The following
telegram was received in this city Satur-
day evening:

W. B. Slaughter shot at ranch, probably

(Signed) G. L. BROOKS.
This is up to this evening all the in
formation that has been received here.
Colonel G. G. Slaughter is not in Dallas.
He is at New Kiowa, Kan, where he has
large cattle interests. The message was
repeated to him, but no answer has come
The message was also repeated to his
father, Rev. G. W. Slaughter, at Palo
Pinto. His brother, John Slaughter, also
lives there.
W. B. Slaughter left Texas about three
years ago, removing his cattle from Palo
Pinto county to q ranch about 100 mics
from Socorro, N. M. He is president and
the principal owner of the New Mexico
Live Stock Company there, and

G. L. Brooks, who signed the telegram,
was the manager of the ranch. The COM
pany is one of the largest in the terri
tory.
A telegram was sent in reply to Mr..
Brooks, but owing to the fact that the
ranch is such distance from Socorro,
no answer has been received.
Mr.. John Slaughter sold his ranch in
New Mexico short time since for
Sl25,000.

Arrested on Suspicion-His First Term OF
Oourt-rhe Pharmacists.
Special TO the Gazette.
WEATHERFORD, TX, May 9.-TO-d day
Sheriff H. S. Sisk arrested on suspicion
and jailed party giving MS name as R.
w. Gregg. What caused the suspicion
was that Gregg was having sold at auc-
ton two horses, one large bay horse
worth about 500 for S2l; the horse was
branded B c. on left shoulder and II on
left thigh; also a brown horse pony,
branded L B on right shoulder. Mr..
Sisk asked the man if he wasn't selling
his horses very cheap. He stated he was
doing it to pay taxes on some land. He
afterwards claimed that he had been at
work for Lewis Upton, about twenty-five
miles northwest of this place. After
some little inquiry Mr.. Sisk ascertained
that Mr.. Upton was killed by lightning
over two years ago. The crooked stories
were what caused his arrest.
District court convened here this
morning with Judge George A. Mccall of
this place on the bench. He presided
with the dignity of an old time Judge,
without the least embarrassment which
would seem natural to the opening of a
Judges first court. In the forenoon he
gave the grand jury their charge, which
was very able one, leaving nothing over
looked. In the afternoon the non-iury
docket was taken up.
THE GAZETTE reporter learned from
Mr.. W. 81. Jones of this place that within
three or four weeks he would commence
the erection of a handsome tWo-story
stone store building on the northeast
corner of the public square. Weather
ford is steadily booming. By the time
the Santa Fe is completed, with the
recent good rains, this place will expert
enCe another substantial boom.

COAL MINERS STRIKE.

Be Postponed.

Be Postponed.
READING, Pa, May ga convention
Of Philadelphia and Reading Railroad en-
ployes representing fifty Knights OF La
Dor assemblies between Philadelphia and
the coal regions, adjourned after mid
night last night. The most important
matter discussed was the grievances of
the miners and the relations existing be-
tween the miners and the laborers of the
Amalgamated Association and the knights
of Labor. The meeting refused to give
Endorsement to the strike in the
coal regions proposed by the miners
and laborers of the Anal
gamated Association, fcontending there
must be union of the bodies before y
strike can be lnaugurated, or in other
words, that the members of the Miners
and Laborers Amalgamated Association
must first join the Knights OF Labor be-
fore they can receive the support of the
latter body. This decision will, it is be-
Iieved, result in the postpOnement OF the
threatened strike in the coal regions, as
no other meeting of those assemblies will
be held until August.
